Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has said that if this year's Dreamforce conference is impacted by the current homeless situation, it may be the last one held in San Francisco.

She also posted a photo of Breed and Benioff, where she thanked him.

Benioff had previously spoken about moving Dreamforce out of San Francisco, citing concerns with homelessness and drug use.

"In partnership with Mayor London Breed and our beloved city, Dreamforce 2023 set new standards with outstanding safety measures, cleanliness and hospitality for our 40,000 visiting trailblazers. Thank you San Francisco!," he also posted on X.

The conference dates will be September 17-19, 2024.
